  "Then I'll have to trouble Lian Shu-ge."

  "This is originally my dereliction of duty, on my behalf apologize to Xiaoxiao, tell her that I will definitely give her a fair deal."

  "Uh-huh, definitely."

  I really don't know what to be happy about, Liuxiu Ge said he would give her justice, but how can there be talk of justice in such things? There is no justice, this place is really being messed up, I really don't know how long I can hold on, brotherly love and righteousness are indeed not things that can be let go of, but can self-respect and conscience also be abandoned for this? So it turns out I, Wu Yuanbin, am such a person, truly pitiful.

  "What an unexpected guest! How did Oulian think of coming to see me?"

  "The store wasn't busy today so Auntie let me off work early, so I came over to see you."

  "Ah, that's really touching! How come? Didn't you go find your boyfriend Wu Yuanbin?"

  "He must be busy now, and besides, I don't want to go back to that bar again."

  "I'll be off work soon, just wait."

  "Anyway, you're free now, let's just chat~"

  "Chat? What's wrong with you today? Any 'hidden' agenda? Why suddenly want to chat with me?"

  "What's up? I just wanted to chat with you, sit down."

  "It's okay, as long as there's no malicious intent."

  "Of course it won't, absolutely a good thing, you, what do you think of Xiaoxiao?"

  "Really? Oh, after spending so many days with her, I think she's a pretty good 'girl' though, very outgoing."

  "Right? A little bit of personality is good, but she's a good girl!"

  "Yes, but... never mind, a good man will understand her, after all, it's not her fault."

  "Is that so? Is Ou Jingxuan a good man then?"

  "Me? Of course! Oulian, don't look at how I used to be such a 'bad egg', but deep down I'm actually a good man! Hehe, you'll find out about this later."

  "I already know now, Oujing Xuan is a good man."

  "Right? Hehe, I told you we'd get along well. I'm a person with many good qualities."

  "Of course, how could my twin brother be any different?"

  "Not mentioning the twin thing, we're just friends who haven't known each other for long."

  "What's wrong? So heartless?"

  "Not really, it's just that I don't like this kind of familial relationship. Maybe we'd be better off as friends. Think about it, if we hadn't met, maybe everything would have been different."

  "What's different about it? If we didn't recognize each other, we wouldn't know each other. Who wants to know someone like you?"

  "But after getting to know me, I still feel like I'm pretty good."

  "Yes, you're great, just be narcissistic then."

  "This is the fact."

  "Ah, you've hijacked all the topics! Let's talk about Xiaoxiao instead. If you had a 'girlfriend' like this, would you want her?"

  "'Girl' friend? What does that mean?"

  "Wouldn't it be great if I had a 'girlfriend' like Xiaoxiao?"

  "Are you trying to set us up?"

  "Yes, little she also likes you very much. You just said it, a good man will not despise her, I believe you won't either?"

  "Don't believe me so much, I'm not capable."

  "Why? Don't you like her?"

  "Emotional things aren't that simple, I like her, but it's a sisterly affection, nothing to do with love."

  "Why do you all just want to like her as a little sister? Do you know that such misunderstandings can hurt the heart of a 'girl' who loves you?"

  "Us? Who else?"

  "Wu Yuanbin, Xiaoxiao used to like Wu Yuanbin too, maybe she still likes him now."

  "So? You want me to be with Xiao Xiao and then you can be at peace and be with Wu Yuanbin, is that right?"

  "I didn't mean it that way, I just think Xiaoxiao seems to like you a bit now too, so I thought of letting you two be together."

  "Don't make excuses anymore, I heard it clearly. Since you hope so much, then I'll go chase Wu Xiaoxiao, maybe I'll succeed anyway. If I do, you'll be happy, won't you?"

  "No, I really hope you two can be together and not just for the sake of convenience. If you don't have that intention, I won't force it either. O Jeong-hwan, I'm not the kind of 'girl' you think I am."

  "Okay, I know, I was just joking, Wu Xiaoxiao can consider it, anyway I'm single too, if everyone gets along then we can be together, why not?"

  "Really? So you're promising me then? That's great, Oujing Xuan, good brother!"

  "Hey, now you know to call me good brother, huh? Before that, you never called me that, always shouting 'Ou Jing Ou Jing', without any respect."

  "Cut it out, who knows if I'm older or younger sister, and even if I am, it's just a few minutes difference, what's there to be proud of?"

  "It's really nonsense, that's also good or bad for brother, so if you don't call me brother, just call me Jing Yan, it's more intimate this way."

  "Never mind then, I'll just call you brother."

  "Really my good little sister! Come on, I just got paid this morning and I'll take you out for lunch."

  "Salary has been issued, that's really great, can we call one more person?"

  "Is it Wu Xiaoxiao? Okay, absolutely okay."

  "Okay, I'll call her right away, you go change your clothes first, I'll wait for you."

  "Okay, let her hurry up."

  I don't know why I agreed to go out with Wu Xiaoxiao, I don't like her, because I have a crush on another girl, but unfortunately that girl is someone I can never get. Why did I agree? Maybe I was afraid of hurting Oulian's feelings, since it was her kind intention, I'll just accept it happily and go along with whatever she wants, as long as she feels happy, I'll be satisfied too, this is all I can give her, I wish I could give her more, but unfortunately, it seems like there won't be an opportunity for that in this lifetime. Will I end up spending the rest of my life miserably guarding her tragic fate? It can't be that sad, right? When did I, Oujinghuan, become such a lovesick person? Oulian, what kind of charm do you have to make me so infatuated with you? I don't know, I'm just infatuated.

  That night, the two "girls" chatted a lot and had a blast, just like two little girls, as if they didn't have any worries at all. It's great to be like that, but I was weighed down by my own concerns, under a lot of pressure, and didn't know how to face these two "girls".

  Xiao Xiao, do you really believe me? Maybe when we're together, my heart will still be thinking of another girl, and that girl is your best sister. Of course, I won't tell you this, it seems unfair to you. But if Oulian wants it that way, I'll pursue you and treat you well, only the position in my heart can't be given to you. Maybe you're the same, let's mutually understand each other, it's good this way, everyone can watch their loved one be happy with peace of mind, how great is that?

  "It's so late, brother, can you send Xiao back home? I'll just stay here, it's right upstairs."

  "Let your brother see you safely up, now there are many perverts in the elevator too, I'll be watching from the staircase entrance, go ahead."

  "Honestly, don't scare me, okay? I'm leaving now. If there really is a pervert, I'll shout for help loudly, and you'd better rush over immediately."

  "I'll definitely do it, don't worry."

  "Hehe, see you tomorrow, Xiao Xiao, let my brother send you off, byebye."

  Ou Lian smiled so innocently, this is what she wanted, I will fulfill your wish.

  "It seems that girl arrived home safely, shall I send you back home now?"

  "It's okay, I can just take a taxi back."

  "How can I let you go like this? Let me send you instead, wait for me to hail a taxi."

  I promised Ou Chen that I would definitely do it, besides sending Xiao back is also my responsibility. In today's scary society, if something were to happen, I would really feel guilty for the rest of my life.

  On the bus, we didn't say much, at most it was just about how tonight's dinner and fun were, she didn't say she liked me, I also didn't say I wanted to pursue her, what should I do, Oulian, haha, let's see what kind of trick you come up with.

  After sending her home safely, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Walking alone on this dimly lit street, I couldn't help but think: what's wrong with me? In the past, I wouldn't have worried so much, but now that Ou Lian is in my life, why do I keep thinking about such brain-twisting sacrifices? It's really hard to understand my own heart. The girl I've been waiting for all along was actually Ou Lian, but unfortunately, it's destined that we can never be together in this lifetime. Heaven, are you playing a joke on me? Bringing her into my life only to arrange such an extraordinary fate for us - I just can't take it, really can't take it.

  "Damn it! Aren't you going to kneel down and beg Miss Wu for forgiveness?"

  "Wu, Miss Wu, I'm sorry. That night, I was drunk, I, I deserve to die, but please spare my life, I, I kowtow to you!"
